13.50 to 13.60s, or somewhere close I would imagine. How do you launch that the 60ft. time is so bad? Was that your only run?

Well, until you get tires, how about slowly rolling into the gas? Or how about some MT street radials and a quality converter and go low 13s? That way you won't have to change your style of stomp the gas and hope for the best.

I'd say you be running 13.90's to 14.00's with a 2.00 sixty foot. Cut a 1.8-1.9 and you'd be running 13.70's

Rule of thumb is that for every .10 you cut of your 60ft. you will cut .15 off you et, if not more. Working on your 60 ft. time is one of the biggest bangs for the buck. Especially in your case.

First get some drag tires then worry about the suspension pieces.

Get some drag radials, and go to the track when it is being properly prepped. You should be in the 13.9 range. Add headers and you will be 13.5-13.6. At least that is where I was at with my '94 when I started out.
